Torpedo Boat Theft Daring Impostor Duped German Crew
A young adventurer in a German town posed as a vice admiral’s son and, posing as a naval officer, wounded a torpedo boat and misled the engineer for over two months. He borrowed a uniform and lived aboard, exposing a trusting crew to a lengthy deception before arrest. A court inquiry is now examining if the engineer aided the impostor rather than acted as a victim.
